A mother feared for her and her baby's safety after she was threatened by a man at a block of flats in Cambridgeshire for closing a door.

The incident happened in The Sidings, Ramsey and police were called after the mother feared for the safety of herself and her daughter.

Officers were told that the mother with her 16-week-old daughter were threatened by a male resident at the entrance to a block of flats on Wednesday, October 5.

Police said the incident happened following a misunderstanding about leaving a door propped open.

A spokesman added: "Despite apologising for closing the door, the woman was threatened and made to fear for her safety and that of her daughter and property."

A force spokeswoman added: "We were called at 3pm on October 5 with reports of threatening behaviour in The Sidlings, Ramsey. The victim, a woman in her early 30s, was with her young baby when she was threatened by a neighbour - a man in his 30s.

"It has been reported that the victim entered the building, which is a block of flats, and closed the entrance door behind her which had been propped open by the offender. A verbal altercation then took place which resulted in threats being made towards the victim. Fearing for her safety, and that of her child, she called the police to report the incident. An investigation is ongoing."
